@Support please reinstate @ChibiReviews he is clearly being harassed and targeted. I’ve been watching his videos for almost 10 years. He’s the furthest thing possible from a spammer.

@Support please reinstate @ChibiReviews he clearly is being targeted and isn’t a spammer. For anyone not aware of the situation, he has been being harassed on here to the point of people making 40+ accounts just to falsely report him, and has now been wrongly suspended. I’ve been watching his videos for almost 10 years now, he’s a great person in the anime community and is the furthest thing from a spammer. Please make this right. If any of my followers are fans of him or just want to show support, please make a similar post to @Support so we can fix this.

Writers when they get a new idea: -This is amazing! -So original! -I bet it will write itself -Possibly the GREATEST idea I've ever had Writers when actually WRITING: -What is this garbage? -Who thought up this mess? -This will take YEARS to write -Why did I do this to myself?
